Linen

It is common in the region for some linen to be provided for bookings, and some linen to be available as an optional extra. By default, a booking at this home does not include optional linen (top & bottom sheets, bath towels and pillowcases). What is included are doonas (quilts) with covers, pillows without covers, tea towels, hand towels and bathmats. If you would like the optional linen included in your booking, please let us know, including which beds you would like it provided for. The additional cost would be a one-off charge of $30 per bed (some sites add a service fee to these costs) - and we prefer 7 days' notice prior to your arrival to get that arranged.

Peak Periods

Please note that during the peak summer period and other peak times, check in times are set as 3pm (unless by prior arrangement). Please also note that if you avail of the optional linen hire over these times, it may involve linen being left out but beds not being made up.

Big house in need of much maintenance
Great facilities for the whole family BUT Doors don't shut in the toilet and bathroom. Uncut lawns, poor visual appeal due to garden maintenance. Cigarette butts around the pool area. Had to keep kids away from the pond in case they caught something. Old furniture and poor condition of furniture both inside and out. This place needs so money spent on it to justify the price being charging. Could be very nice with just some regular attention to the property. Place looked stunning on the website.

Women’s footy trip
Plenty of room for all 14 of us. Fantastic layout, spacious kitchen and comfortable rooms. A light over the spa would be a great idea and a few extra power points would also be great, otherwise this property is perfect for a large group getaway! Thank you so much 😀

Rippa house!
We all had the best time at this property. So much fun with the outdoor spa and adjacent pool. Great outdoor lounge area to enjoy. Kids playground would be super cool if we had our children, they would have loved it. We taxied into town but you could walk it. Nice quite neighbourhood. Kitchen is stocked with all you need for a comfy stay and more. Pool table was a great addition for some fun! Highly recommend!

Excellent for families.
We had a fabulous time with our children and grandchildren all together. The house made it easy for each couple to have a room ànd the kids loved all being able to sleep in the same room. The spa was a hit also. We will definitely consider coming back.
